CHRONICLE BUREAU, Congress Hall Hotel, WASHINGTON Feb. 5. TTic Postoffice Department has Is s d some interesting bulletins recent- concerning violations of the postal :iws and regulations. One concerning the dutrf a of rural letter carriers reads fis follows: Instructions have been issued to all postmasters at rural delivery offices that on and after February 15th rural I"tter carriers will not be required to " ft loose coins from rural mall boxes placed therein for the purchase of ttamp supplies and money orders. The Department has been forced to adopt this policy, owing to the enor mous extent to which the practice has grown and the resulting delays in the delivery and collection of mail. Instancing the extent to which the abuse has grown, records of the De- partment show where as many as 190 nno-rent coins have been collected rom boxes by a carrier on a single trip and 38 coins have been taken from a single box at one time for as many post cards.

Fraud orders- have been issued agaidnst the following named: R. H. Rodman & Company, Rodman & Com pany, and C W. Rodman, of St. Louis. Under these names one Charles W. Rodman, representing himself to be a commission merchant, has been in ducing various persons, by means of circulars and letters through the mails to send to him or the concerns he has been doing business under, -poultry, farm produce, fish and other articles of a similar nature. The circulars and letters sent by Rodman led the recip ients to believe thy would be paid for articles forwarded. Whereas, upon receipt of the articles Rodman dispos- ed of them and made no pretense of paying the sends for the same. According to the inspector handling this case, Rodman is an old offender. He has been engaged in fraudulent produce business for many' years and he has heen- warned to cease such, business on several occasions. By the issuance -of an order all mail addressed to the Bridgeport Twenty Thousand Club, Bridgeport, Alabama, and Saint Louis, Missouri, will be held by the postmasters at those places.

Then there is the item of $3,489.23 toUl coat of the admin istration of the commission. 4. The fact is recited to the Governor that the General Assembly took $31. 000 of the commission's $500,000 fund for deficits of the hospitals at Ral eigh, Morganton and Goldsboro and $5,000 to enlarge the department of the criminal insane at the State's pri son, there being still some outstanding debts in this connection that will re duce the balance remaining on hand. Summing up the work the commission shows that it has provided for 82 S white insane and white insane epilep tics and 84 colored, a total of 912 pa tients, and has carried, out the pol icy with reference to the hospital at Raleigh.' bringing up jts capacity to 1,200 patients, making the capacity, plant and sanitation furnishings and equipment in every way equal to the hospital at Morganton. There is.now room in the hospital at Raleigh for at least 400 more pa tients than are there and the com mission declare that the hospital at Morganton 1s now. since the change in the line between the Eastern and the Western districts and the transferring of epileptics to Raleigh capable of accommodating the present demands upon the Institution. The commis sion Insists that there is not now any valid reason why every white insane person ln the State and white insa' epileptics cannot be cared for by the State. . The commission reports, however, that it finds itself jjnable to make such additions to the hospital at Golds boro for colored insane, as seem, to be absolutely neceteary; there.teing press! pgnecessity for'Addttional roeao- for $150 additional patients there, -This is due to the loss of the $3. 000 from the fund taken by the last Legislature for deficits at the .other hospitals. And now the eommlsson does not feel authorized ln going ahead with this wortc by creating a debt. In fact, the view is taken that it would not have the authority to do so. even with the approval of the Governor and his council of State. Enlargement at Raleigh, The improvements by the commis sion In the Raleigh hospital has In creased the capacity 626 patients.409 males and 217 females.
